La Dama De Ayer (The Lady In Red, Spanish Version)
From Into The Light    Written by Chris de Burgh    By Chris de Burgh

Jamás había visto en la vida tan bella mujer,
La quise conocer,
Jamás la había visto uno verse tan suave y sensual,
Yo la quise conquistar, una y otra vez,
De repente me di cuenta,
Que la mujer que yo veía eras tú,
Tan solo tú,

La dama de ayer está junto a mi, así, así,
No hay nadie más, solos tú y yo,
Esclavos del amor,
Y con cada beso donde vas a empezar
Una vez mas nuevo en el amor;

Jamás había visto en la vida tan linda mujer,
La quise con todo mi ser, como nunca,
Jamás la había visto uno verse de forma tal,
Cada vuelta sin igual, perfecta cada vez,
Pero porque no pude darme cuenta,
Que la mujer que yo quería eras tú,
Y solo tú

La dama de ayer está junto a mi, así, así,
No hay nadie más, solos tú y yo,
Esclavos del amor,
Y con cada beso donde vas a empezar
Una vez más nuevo en el amor,

La dama de ayer,
La dama de ayer,
La dama de ayer,
Mi dama de ayer.

Te quiero.

The Lady In Red
From Into The Light    Written by Chris de Burgh    By Chris de Burgh

I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight,
I've never seen you shine so bright,
I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance,
They're looking for a little romance, given half a chance,
And I have never seen that dress you're wearing,
Or the highlights in your hair that catch your eyes,
I have been blind;

The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek,
There's nobody here, it's just you and me,
It's where I want to be,
But I hardly know this beauty by my side,
I'll never forget the way you look tonight;

I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight,
I've never seen you shine so bright, you were amazing,
I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side,
And when you turned to me and smiled, it took my breath away,
And I have never had such a feeling,
Such a feeling of complete and utter love, as I do tonight;

The lady in red is dancing with me, cheek to cheek,
There's nobody here, it's just you and me,
It's where I want to be,
But I hardly know this beauty by my side,
I'll never forget the way you look tonight;

I never will forget the way you look tonight...
The lady in red, the lady in red,
The lady in red, my lady in red,

I love you...

The Last Moment Of The Down
From Quiet Revolution    Written by Chris de Burgh    By Chris de Burgh

In the last moments of the dawn, Before the day begins,
before we say goodnight, Hold me now, kiss me now,
My hands are shaking, and my heart is aching,
At the thought of making love with you,

Tonight, I would never dream that I would fall in love,
And it would be with you,
We're out at sea, just you and me,
Now the wind is blowing, and my passion is growing,
And your eyes are glowing with the light of love;

There is no explanation why it should be this way,
For you and me, must be destiny,
And from a new horizon, you came right out of the blue;

With the last moments of the dawn,
Could be the first day of my life with you;

Hold me now, kiss me again, 'Cos my hands are shaking,
and my heart is aching,
As the dream of making love with you
Comes true...........

In the last moments of the dawn,
In the last moments of the dawn,
In the last moments of the dawn.

Last Night
From Into The Light    Written by Chris de Burgh    By Chris de Burgh

Last night I was walking through the harbour,
Where the fishing boats are lying on the shore,
The news had travelled fast and everyone went to be,
Where the mayor was making a speech,
And the crowd started cheering,
When he talked about the glory of it all,
And the boys coming home from the war;

Last night, they were dancing in the streets,
And making music in the alleyways and bars,
From a house down in the old town came the sound of guitars,
Margarita was waiting inside,
With her long black hair hanging down beneath the red light,
And she smiled, for the boys coming home from the war,
The boys coming home from the war;

And they said we were heroes, they said we were fine,
We were kings in command, we had God on our side,
And we said "nothing will make us change in any way,
Since yesterday - we're just the same,
Since yesterday - nothing has changed,
Since yesterday - we're just the same,"
But I can feel there's a new kind of hunger inside,
To be satisfied, I saw it there last night;

Last night I was walking through the shadows,
Far away from all the music and the girls,
When I saw a soldier waiting with a woman in black,
And they stood without any word,
Just staring at a photograph of someone, and she began to cry,
For a boy left behind in the war,
Some boy left behind in the war;

And they said we were heroes, they said we were fine,
We were kings in command, we had God on our side,
And we said "nothing will make us change in any way,
Since yesterday - we're just the same,
Since yesterday - nothing has changed,
Since yesterday - we're just the same,"
But I can feel there's this new kind of hunger inside,
To be satisfied, I saw it there last night...

The Last Time I Cried
From Flying Colours    Written by Chris de Burgh    By Chris de Burgh

The last time I cried, I was sitting home,
And it was deep in the night,
Staring at the shadows and the flickering lights,
Giving all that I had, to take them away,
Giving all that I had, to make them pay;

The last time I cried, I could see the people,
Long ago in the rain,
Waiting as the soldiers put them all on a train,
And the hands on the bars, the eyes full of tears,
And the word is the same, for a thousand years,

Eli Eli Lama, oh Lord, you have forsaken me,
Eli Eli Lama, oh Lord, you have forsaken me;

The last time I cried, I could not believe it,
When I held on a face,
Staring at a soldier with his gun in the rain,
It was the face of a child, my child here asleep,
And the soldier who smiled, the man was me,

Eli Eli Lama, oh Lord, you have forsaken me,
Eli Eli Lama, oh why, have you forsaken me?

Eli Eli Lama, oh Lord, you have forsaken me,

The last time I cried, the last time I cried,
The last time I cried, the last time I cried,
The last time I cried, the last time I cried,
The last time I cried, the last time I cried,
The last time.

Le Coeur D'Une Femme (French Version Of A Woman's Heart)
From "Patricia 2000" And Canadian-Only Promo Single    Written by Chris de Burgh    By Chris de Burgh

Le coeur d'une femme, déborde de passion
Le coeur d'une femme, déborde de désirs
Si tu ne crois pas que ces choses là existe
C'est l'erreur fatale qu'un homme peut faire

La nuit d'une femme est remplie de rêves
De l'homme parfait qui n'est sans doute pas toi
Si on ne voit pas de quoi elle manque
C'est l'erreur fatale qu'un homme peut faire

Elle veut être près de toi, ne la repousse pas
Elle veut te faire comprendre, elle veut surtout te dire

Donne moi la nuit pour te montrer ma passion
Donne moi ton désir et je te prendrai
Donne moi tes rêves, je suis ici ton lover;
Donne moi ton coeur, serre le fort contre moi
Et je pourrai t'aimer jusqu'au dernier souffle

Le coeur d'une femme (Le coeur d'une femme) est à garder pour toujours
Elle sera fidèle (Elle sera fidèle) pour toute la vie
Si on n'lui donne pas amour et affection
Ce sera l'erreur fatale qu'un homme peut faire

Elle veut être près de toi, ne la repousse pas
Elle veut te faire comprendre, elle veut t'entendre dire

Donne moi la nuit pour te montrer ma passion
Donne moi ton désir et je te prendrai
Donne moi tes rêves, je suis ici ton lover;
Donne moi ton coeur, serre le fort contre moi
Et je pourrai t'aimer jusqu'au dernier souffle

(Le coeur d'une femme) Déborde de passion
(Le coeur d'une femme) Déborde de désirs
(Le coeur d'une femme) Est à toi pour toujours

The Leader
From Into The Light    Written by Chris de Burgh    By Chris de Burgh

I looked to the North, and I turned to the West,
For a sign, a light in the sky,
Oh the message is clear, that the time is near,
For a leader to come again;

A circle of stones on the head of a hill,
Tonight is where it will be,
In this desolate place, we all stand and wait,
For a leader to come again, yes a leader will come again;

For it is written, that a leader will be here,
And then a vision, left me blinded by the light,
And it started right in front of my eyes...

Leather On My Shoes
From Flying Colours    Written by Chris de Burgh    By Chris de Burgh

I've got leather on my shoes,
And I've got a dream to live,
There is nothing left to lose,
So I'm going,
I've got a suitcase here in my hand,
And I've got a hungry heart,
And I'm going to join the millions,
There before me, on the freedom road;

No-one's coming to my door,
And all my friends have gone,
There's no work here anymore,
It's deserted,
And though I know I hate to leave,
From this land that I love,
There's a new tomorrow waiting,
Yes it's shining on the freedom road,
On the freedom road;

Oh sometimes it's going to be lonely,
Sometimes it will be sad,
But I've got to keep on going,
Until I hold that promised land,
In the palm of my hand;

Nothing ventured, nothing gained or won,
Without a hard fight,
We would never reach the sun,
Without trying,
And when we're a million miles from home,
Out in the starry night,
We will see we're not alone,
In the heavens, out on freedom road,
Out on freedom road,

Out on freedom road... out on freedom road.

Lebanese Night
From Timing Is Everything    Written by Chris de Burgh    By Chris de Burgh    Guest: elissa

It was late in a Lebanese restaurant, in the heat of a Lebanese night,
There was dancing, people were singing, she came in from the garden outside,
And in her eyes I saw the stars,
And I felt something happen in my heart;

Then I knew I was going to meet her in the heat of a Lebanese night,
And the girl inside the woman, who came over to sit by my side,
And when she smiled, the whole world stopped,
It was then I heard the echoes of a child;

And did you go to your bed with a sweet lullaby,
And the sound of the guns in the night,
And did you dance in the fields, did you run for your life,
From the hell that came down from the sky?
On a Lebanese night, on a Lebanese night;

We went down to the edge of the water, by the light of a Lebanese dawn,
And she told me all the stories of her beautiful land in the war,
Her tears fell down, the sun came up,
And I saw again the young girl in her eyes;

And did you go to your bed with a sweet lullaby,
And the sound of the guns in the night,
And did you dance in the fields, did you run for your life,
From the hell that came down from the sky?
On a Lebanese night, on a Lebanese night;

All of my life, all I have known,
only a place where peace cannot go;
All over the world, the gift from before,
nothing is left for the children of war;

And did you go to your bed with a sweet lullaby,
And the sound of the guns in the night,
And did you dance in the fields, did you run for your life,
From the hell that came down from the sky?
On a Lebanese night, on a Lebanese night,
On a Lebanese night, on a Lebanese night,
I will be waiting, in the Lebanon.

Lebanese Night (Middle Eastern Version)
From Timing Is Everything    Written by Chris de Burgh    By Chris de Burgh & elissa

(Uh...)

It was late in a Lebanese restaurant, in the heat of a Lebanese night,
There was dancing, people were singing, she came in from the garden outside,
And in her eyes (Bi Ouyoonak)
I saw the stars (Bshouf E' Njoom),
And I felt something happen in my heart (Uh...);

Then I knew I was going to meet her in the heat of a Lebanese night,
And the girl inside the woman, who came over to sit by my side,
And when she smiled,
the whole world stopped (Salam),
It was then I heard the echoes of a child;

And did you go to your bed with a sweet lullaby,
And the sound of the guns in the night,
And did you dance in the fields, did you run for your life,
From the hell that came down from the sky?
On a Lebanese night, on a Lebanese night;

We went down to the edge of the water, by the light of a Lebanese dawn,
And she told me all the stories of her beautiful land in the war,
Her tears fell down,
the sun came up,
And I saw again the young girl in her eyes;

Guammadt Ouyounak 'a Guinniyyi
Wa Sawt Bi 'llayl shou khifan
W' rahh bit dal hayk layliyi init sihran
Shi marra mshit bi hal mada, w' marra hrabt aw min hada
La indak jayi 'al guada w' kinit ta'ban
On a Lebanese night, on a Lebanese night;

Ana Ma 'areft illa makan
Ma rahh bi fil minnou 'ssalam
Fa Hatha yashta' min ywazze'on
Mish killi el oulad fi 'hdiyyi ilon

Uh...

(Uh...)

And did you go to your bed with a sweet lullaby,
And the sound of the guns in the night,
And did you dance in the fields, did you run for your life,
From the hell that came down from the sky?
On a Lebanese night, on a Lebanese night,
On a Lebanese night, on a Lebanese night,
I will be waiting,
in the Lebanon.

Liberty
From The Getaway    Written by Chris de Burgh    By Chris de Burgh

Roll away the dawn,
Roll away the dawn, and let me see,
The land of the free,
Has anything changed at all;

Sweet liberty,
Sweet liberty is in our hands,
It's part of the plan,
Or is it a state of mind?

Horses and men,
Horses and men are on the field,
They didn't yield,
Many have fallen here;

Never forget,
Never forget what they have done,
The time will come,
When it will change again,
Never forget!

Light A Fire
From The Getaway    Written by Chris de Burgh    By Chris de Burgh

Watch, and wait, get ready for the sign,
There are many here among us now,
Who have not seen the light,
We must send the word to all the people in the land,
Go to every hill and mountain,
For the time is now at hand,
To light a fire!
Light a fire,
Light a fire!

Let us march the road up the rocky hill tonight,
Under cover of the darkness,
We will slip behind the lines,
And we will take the men who have stolen our land,
For the years of domination,
Hit them right between the eyes,
And light a fire!
Light a fire,
Light a fire,
They will see through the world!

Living In The World
From Quiet Revolution    Written by Chris de Burgh    By Chris de Burgh

Living in this fantasy, working with reality,
I have come back here again, to touch the sun and feel the rain,
Invitations, conversations, friends to make me strong,
I've seen that light, and I watch it shine, living In The World;

Well I believe that destiny is written in the darkest sea,
With every movement that we make, and every footstep that we take,
Inspirations, correlations, where we're meant to be,
There's so much more that I want to know, living In The World;

Oh-oh still the hunger, Oh-oh to see it all,
Oh-oh and the wonder of the sunlight in the morning,
And the moonlight on the bay,
I'm singing now;

Oh oh oh, living in the world
Oh oh oh, living in the world;
Don't believe a word you read, and only half of what you see,
'Cos there are those who make it up, just to make that extra buck,
And when they write the poison, they will surely get it back,
And I'm still here, and I'm gonna stay, living in the World;

Oh-oh - In the spotlight, Oh-oh - it can be hard,
Oh-oh - it's a hot light, when it's shining on the tough,
That's when the tough begin to shine,
I'm singing now;

Oh oh oh, living in the world,
Oh oh oh, living in... The world;
I've seen the wonder of the forest in the light,
I've seen the miracle of winter birds in flight,
I've seen the universe come flashing in the night,
Living in the world;

And when they call me, I will be waiting, When it's time to go,
But I'm not ready yet!

Oh oh oh, Living in the world,
Oh oh oh, Living in the world.

Living in the world, Living in the world....

Living On The Island
From The Getaway    Written by Chris de Burgh    By Chris de Burgh

Day by day they drink and dream,
Old men staring out to sea,
From the island, living on the island;

And down in the harbor, it's a show,
Watching all the people as they come and go,
On the island, living on the island;

And up in the mountains, they're alright,
Tasting the first of the summer wine,
On the island, living on the island;

I wanna feel that sunshine in my heart,
And let it blow my worries away,
I wanna spend a night in the ocean with her,

That little lady lover who's in love with me,
Prettiest little lady that I've ever seen,
On the island, living on the island...

Ooh, and when I finally sail away,
I know for sure I'll be back someday,
On the island, living on the island,
On the island, living on the island,
I wanna feel that sunshine on my back,
On the island, living on the island,
On the island, we'll be living on the island,
I wanna feel that wind blow in my hair,
Living on the island...

Lonely Sky
From Spanish Train & Other Stories    Written by Chris de Burgh    By Chris de Burgh

The cold north wind they call "La Bise"
Is swirling round about my knees,
Trees are crying leaves into the river;

I'm huddled in this French café
I never thought I'd see the day,
But winter's here and summer's really over,
And even the birds have packed up and gone,
They're flying south with their song,
And my love, she too has gone, she had to fly,
Out there, it's such a lonely sky,
They'll trap your wings my love and hold your flight,
They'll build a cage and steal your only sky,
Fly away, fly to me, fly when the wind is high,
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky...

The old cathedral lights are low
She and I we'd often go there
To admire and sometimes kneel in prayer;

Lords and ladies lie in stone,
Hand in hand from long ago,
And though their hands are cold they'll love forever,
Even the choir rehearses those songs
For Christmas is not long,
And alone, I sing my song, she had to fly,
Take care, it's such a lonely sky,
They'll trap your wings my love and hold your flight,
They'll build a cage and steal your only sky,
Fly away, fly to me, fly when the wind is high,
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky,
Fly away, fly to me, and if you need my love,
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky...
I'll come in with the dawn,
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky,
On the wings of the morn,
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky,
Above the world we'll be flying,
I'm sailing beside you in your lonely sky...

Lonesome Cowboy
From Far Beyond These Castle Walls    Written by Chris de Burgh    By Chris de Burgh

There was a lonesome cowboy, who rode his horse all day,
At night he slept in the moonlight, till he heard that midnight train...

And then that lonesome cowboy, looked up at the stars in the sky,
"I will leave my land and my horses, on that midnight train I will ride,

To the city, far across the plains,
To that city, on that midnight train, here it comes,
Choo choo choo ... on that midnight train,"

And then that lonesome cowboy, stepped into a bar,
A pretty girl slid over nice and easy, "Boy your money won't go far."

She took him outside to an alley, he got dragged into a fight,
And a bullet sent him dying, and he cursed that moonless night,

In that city, far across the plains,
In that city, he should hear that midnight train, down the line,
Choo choo choo ... he could hear that midnight train,

And now that lonesome cowboy, is lain beneath the clay,
His horses they're still waiting, for he is gone away;

Now if you think the grass is greener on the far side of the hill,
All you cowboys: take it easy, there's no grass there at all,

In that city, far across the plains,
In that city, you'd better miss that midnight train, here it comes,
Choo choo choo ... you'd better miss that midnight train,
Choo choo choo ... that train is coming for you.

Love And Time
From Timing Is Everything    Written by Chris de Burgh    By Chris de Burgh

She is alone again, wondering how her world could have been,
He's on the 'phone again, telling her he'll be working late,
"We're gonna have a real good life, the money keeps rolling in,
We can never really have enough," but he doesn't see,
What she wants is

Love and time, dreams and affection,
Love and time, hope and emotion;

She is alone again, wondering how her night could have been,
He's had to go again, leaving her at a table for two,
"I'm working on the next big thing, this is really what I'm living for,
You can stay and have another drink," he just doesn't see,
What she needs is

Love and time, dreams and affection,
Love and time, hope and emotion;

One day he'll wake up, and find out that she has gone away,
She'll be looking for

Love and time, dreams and affection,
Love and time, hope and emotion,
Love and time, dreams and affection,
Love and time, hope and emotion.

Love Is My Decision
From Arthur 2: Love On The Rocks soundtrack     Written by Chris de Burgh    By Chris de Burgh and Burt Bacharach

And when they tell you that you're crazy,
You've got to try to settle down,
You got to turn yourself around,
Life is more than just good times, and parties,

You got the moon in New York city,
You've got the whole world in your hands,
Too many cards from Disneyland,
Saying that I was sorry, come one day,

But if, I ever have to chose, love is my decision,
With you I just can't lose, stay here by my side,
Love is my decision, forever you and I,

I'll tell you this,
If you should ever go away, I'll know,
That I could never live a single day without you,

You are the one that lights my world up,
The one that money just can't buy,
And now I promise I will try,
Maybe even a family together,

But if, I ever have to chose, love is my decision,
With you I just can't lose, stay here by my side,
Love is my decision, forever you and I,

If, I ever have to chose,
If I ever have to chose,
(If, I ever have to chose, love is my decision),

Forever let me hear in my heart,
(Stay, always by my side, love is my decision),

Forever let me live my heart,
(If, I ever have to chose, love is my decision),

I'm never going to let you down,
(Stay, always by my side, love is my decision),

Forever let me hear my heart,
(If, I ever have to chose, love is my decision,
stay, always by my side, love is my decision).

Love Of The Heart Divine
From Quiet Revolution    Written by Chris de Burgh    By Chris de Burgh

And he laid her down in a field of corn, And the sun was on his back,
Up above there was, a clear blue sky, she held him by the hand,
she had known him since they both were young,
He'd been always in her life,
And the first time that he had kissed her lips,
she knew it deep inside, that this was;

Love of a different world, love of the life,
Love of the ancient ones, love of the heart divine;

Through the long hot days and the summer nights,
he was always by her side,
Just a boy and girl in an innocent world, before the Flanders tide,
When the autumn leaves had turned to gold,
She would have her wedding day,
And the people sang like an angel choir,
And everybody said that this was;

Love of a different world, love of the life,
Love of the ancient ones, love of the heart divine;

Then the winter came, and the winds of war were blowing with the snow,
And he looked so fine in his uniform, she knew that he must go,
When the soldiers left on the morning train,
She was waving him goodbye, And as the tears rolled down, for the very first time,
The baby kicked inside, and this was;

Love of a different world, love of the life,
Love of the ancient ones, love of the heart divine;

Love of a different world, love of the life,
Love of the ancient ones, love of the heart divine.

Love's Got A Hold On Me
From This Way Up    Written by Chris de Burgh    By Chris de Burgh

I got a light shining over me,
I thought this could never be,
It's so amazing what I feel,
'Cos love - love's got a hold on me;

Up in the air walking down the street,
Smile like a fool at everyone I meet,
I wake in the night, I just can't sleep,
'Cos love - love's got a hold on me;

Too many heartaches, too many tears,
Too many women, too many years,
But I've got me a girl, who takes me high,
All the way to heaven day and night;

Love is a dance with a different beat,
And I can't stop my dancing feet,
I'm as high as I can be,
'Cos love - love's got a hold on me;

Too many heartaches, too many tears,
Too many women, too many years,
But I've got me a girl, who takes me high,
All the way to heaven day and night;

Love's got a hold, a hold on me,
Love's got a hold, a hold on me,
Love's got a hold, a hold on me;

I said love - love's got a hold - love's got a hold -
Love's got a hold on me.
